BNP leader claims 'active conspiracy' underway to erase spirit of Liberation War

Dhaka, Nov 10 (UNI) BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday warned that there was an "active conspiracy" underway by parties with vested interests, to erase the spirit of the Liberation War, and distort the country's founding ideals, in remarks targetting the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh.
"Those who collaborated with the Pakistani army to kill freedom fighters and commit atrocities against women are now attempting to swallow the country," said the BNP leader, while addressing a discussion with freedom fighters and their descendants at the Thakurgaon District Freedom Fighters Complex.
The event was organised by the Bangladesh Muktijoddha Sangsad district unit, local media agencies reported.
